I was working a job site in a tough area of town. Bars on the windows, iron gates sort of place. I was alone on the job site, behind a locked fence. It's a 16 unit apartment complex I'm currently renovating. The carpenters were in and out all day, so I heard a couple voices outside when I was working in the unit. I went outside to confirm it was in fact the carpenters and not some people who shouldn't be there. Turns out it was 3 guys, visably drunk. I stepped out of the unit and one of them approached me, and started asking innocent enough questions. Things like what are you guys doing here, and when is it going to be done. Then his two friends came up as well.
The first guy was standing directly in front of me but, I noticed the other two were starting to circle me. I had the complex on my left, so I casually put my back against the wall, and squared my shoulders up to the other two. We talked for a few min, me watching their hands the entire time. Then the one most on my side said " give me a dollar" I said I don't have a dollar" He replied " how about a quarter" I said I don't carry any money sorry, still politely. He then said " you're gonna give me some (curse) money" I raised my shirt and exposed my EDC. I then said " I don't think that would be in your best interest" They then left.
What I learned from this. I didn't feel under gunned with my P238. I did wish I had an extra mag though. I was thinking the entire time if I have to its draw safety down then fire. It's a good thing I put my back to the wall, I'm positive I would have been hit from behind otherwise.
What I did wrong, I should have not let them get as close as I did.
I'm sure some will say I shouldn't have exposed my firearm at all unless I was going to draw. I personally feel if my firearm clears the holster, it's fire time. When I decide it comes out, I have already decided to fire. I think I handled it well, and I called my uncle who's a cop in the city and he will be stopping by tomorrow. I'll be at the same job. Hopefully the police presence will deter any future activities.

We have a group of 4 that play non ranked games just about every night. We would like to add one more decent player to the mix and start doing 5 premade ranked. We use Mumble for our communication, and would expect anyone wanting to join us to have a mic. Be warned, we are just casual players but are decently skilled, we are not hardcore, and we just play for the luls. Friend me in-game to chat, will be checking this post very infrequently. Edit: We are later night players between 9-2am Central.

Good Points
Good screen quality, compact size, user-friendly.
Bad Points
Predictive text, tempremental, signal problems, swicthes off, picture quality poor.
General Comments
I bought the LG7100 in Dec 2003. It is very user-friendly and anyone who uses a Nokia will find this a very familiar set-up. Since then I have had it repaired three times and a new one as it switched itself off, cut off during calls, didn't always send messages (particularly with pictures). What you won't be told is that if this phone goes wrong, it has to be sent back to LG direct as the phone shops can't repair them so I was without mine for three months out of four. You cannot teach it words on predictive text so all of you who like to text will find it frustrating. The alarm is poor and the software you get with it doesn't work fully. The photo quality is poor and I hate this phone so much I am giving it away and am using my old Nokia which I adore!

The Mountain Pinks are really putting on a show this year. and I included a few natives that are blooming in my yard for the first time. I would like to try to establish them on a slope on my land. I have not been successful before. SO if you have some hidden knowledge about these beauties. I would like to hear how you are doing it.. What I know is that they need full throttle sun on a slope of disturbed limestone rubble and caliche that water will flow across when it rains. I sent seeds to TexasRanger and she gets blooms every spring. She can get anything to grow.. Here, below, is a Menodora heterophylla (2 yellow spots) and a Dalea purpuria amongst my mexican wire grass. It is the first bloom of the Redbud Menodora. I am hoping for more. It has been long in coming. I thought I had lost it but it has taken off this year. I think they are slow to establish. |

Mara, here is a closeup of one coming up from seeds you sent me that came up next to a large Hairy Golden Aster, another one you sent me seeds of. I love both of these Texas native plants. Your pictures are gorgeous! I love your prairie clover. The ones in Okie-dirt seem to splay out more like a fireworks display, my pink ones have had a lot of rain this year so they are taller than usual. I've got my eye on a large white one I marked out on a roadside to get seeds from this fall. I love the liatris in the picture, thats a good grouping. My rough mendora looks like a weed compared to that variety you have. You'd drool. The Mountain Pinks are finicky little things. Very choosey about their chosen spot. I only ended up with 4 this year but at least that will insure seeds enough to keep my small crop going. |
- Posted by TexasRanger10 7 (My Page) on Wed, Jul 9, 14 at 15:49
Love those mountain pinks! Thank you both for the gorgeous pictures of your blooming native plants. I read that when Lady Bird Johnson was looking for a place to plant mountain pink seeds she chose the slooping edges of the Air Force One runway on the Johnson ranch which had been built up and leveled with rubble. They flourished there. |
Thanks for sharing the photos. Nice having a name to put with another beautiful roadside flower. One search quirk is that Google didn't initially return this plant in the first few pages for "mountain pinkS". Had to use singular form ("mountain pink") to find it on wildflower.org. Either works for me now that Google knows what I was looking for. Both forms seem to be in common use for Centaurium beyrichii, but without history, the Google algorithm apparently associates the plural form with creeping phlox and the single form with centaurium. Just mentioning in case anyone else is looking. |

I have a hard time finding it also on the net. I will have to remember about the the little "s". Life is in the details, and they often escape me and leave me hanging.. |

(Follow the 2 Year Plan and Complete 28 Simple Steps )
Watch this Video for Details to Become a Millionaire
Join the membership site that guides you through a system of 28 "Time Stamped Goals" to reach $1,342,177.20 in CASH.
Use the 2 Year Roadmap:
Complete the first 10 Goals (Reach $5.12) in 90 Days!
Complete the next 10 Goals(Reach $5,242) in 9 Months!
Complete the last 8 Goals (Reach $1,342,177) in 1 More Year!
(Download the 28 Goals Worksheet for FREE to See the Math)
The Secret:
Get the answer to each Goal BEFORE you start the Goal...Then do it!
Investment $37 and $5 a Month
Click the Button Below
What is Financial Freedom?
The answer means different things to different people and in general it means having enough money to do ALL the things you want to do in life without having to worry about where the money will come from...So You always have an abundance of money for all your needs.
Let's be clear - This is not a get rich quick scheme. It is not multi-level marketing (MLM). It is not a system that just hands you wealth. You have to commit to put in time, effort and action. But if you are committed to changing your financial future, you will embrace the journey.
Make it your part time job where you need to show up and get to work.
If you are not in a place where you can make a committment to change your financial future, don't take the journey. But if you want control of your future and are willing to work consistantly (that is why you use time stamped goals) then make a decision, get started and take action. Adopt the attitude that will propel you forward.
Here are a few important questions that can lead you to your new journey:
1) Have you ever found a penny? If you answered Yes, go to question 2.
2) Did you Pick it up? If you answered Yes, go to question 3.
3) Did you turn it into a million dollars or more? If you answered No, continue reading.
98.7% of the people surveyed responded Yes to questions 1 & 2, but 100% responded No to question 3. They had 2 of the 3 answers and they were only missing 3 more little things:
A - They developed the wrong belief system about money (unfortunately at an early age). The system helps change that.
B - Nobody ever told them or showed them how to take a penny and turn it into a million dollars. I bet if they did, many more would have answered Yes to question 3. The system shows you how others completed the goal you are about to start. Take their answer and copy it.
C - They never had access to a system with 28 individual goals to guide them step by step to accomplish each goal. A system that gives them the answer how to complete the goal before they start each goal. You see your progress in accomplishing little goals that add up to big goals and financial freedom.
Now you can. Explore this website and use your own judgement on the merits of the process.
You can download the free 28 goal workbook (see the math yourself) and use the workheet to complete all 28 goals yourself for free if you choose (but most like the fact we give them the answers to each goal before they start the goal). You can complete each goal slower or faster than our recommend time table and that is your choice. It it takes you 3- or 4 years, is that O.K.?
For members we also provide a 'Journey to Financial Freedom' Workbook which is a more detailed accounting of each goal, your time stamped goal and how you accomplished each goal. This a valuble tool to help stay on tract to reach all 28 goals or $1,342,177.20.
Disclaimer: MillionairesByGeorge.com does not provide any guarantees you or anyone using this progam will reach a million dollars or any amount of money. The process is new and therefore, there are not any participants that have reached the 28th goal or a million dollars. Once people begin to reach the millionaire status it will be documented on the website.

PER Diem: April 21, 2009
Vinny Del Negro is making rookie mistakes on the big stage. But he's in good company
It's a fitting irony: On the day when Bulls coach Vinny Del Negro ran out of timeouts for the second straight game, Cavs coach Mike Brown was named the league's coach of the year.
You see, in a lot of ways, Brown used to be Del Negro, and I think we can learn something about coaches from these two examples.
Three years ago, it was Brown who was running out of timeouts at the end of virtually every playoff game. And he was in a situation similar to the one the Bulls are in now -- his underdog Cavaliers were unexpectedly pushing Detroit to seven games in a second-round playoff series, and it was his first year on the job.
While he was doing that, of course, he also was being raked over the coals for several other dubious moves, and the second-guessing extended into questioning his moves even when they made sense.
Now in his fourth season, Brown doesn't make those kinds of blunders. Del Negro, as a rookie coach who has had no prior experience, does. Burning through timeouts has been a problem for him all season, as were his lineup choices until injuries and trades whittled his team down to a seven-man rotation that was virtually impossible to screw up.
Daily Gems
Here are John Hollinger's top five NBA observations for Tuesday. Insider
- Celtics dealt another major blow
- Marbury and Moore having little impact
- Why SVG has to be kicking himself
- A Dallas decision that was surprising
- Dirk's struggles a worry for Mavs
And on Monday night, his play calls out of timeouts weren't exactly complex things to diagram. You don't need a 30-second huddle to communicate "get Ben Gordon the ball and get the hell out of his way" to your team. Every NBA playbook has a "2 up" call or something similar that accomplishes this.
The reason I bring up Brown is to point out something a lot of fans don't consider: Coaches can be a lot like players. They have strengths and weaknesses, develop tendencies and can improve from year to year. Sometimes, they have good years and bad years -- a point driven home to me by living in Atlanta, where a single coach has been working for the past half decade.
Nonetheless, most fans and many analysts have but two piles for coaches: good and bad. Our views on players are far more nuanced, but for some reason coaches can be only geniuses or idiots. In truth, there's a whole lot of gray. Virtually every coach has a few things he does really well, and a few other areas where he's behind the curve.
Look at Brown. For three years, he was unmistakably a below-average offensive coach. He had a tremendous impact on the Cavs at the defensive end right from the get-go, but his offensive system basically consisted of slow-developing screen-and-rolls and isolations for LeBron James and the occasional post-up for Zydrunas Ilgauskas. When it worked, it was mostly because of James' brilliance, but even with LeBron in the lineup, the Cavs were around the league average in offensive efficiency during his first three seasons.
Brown's solution this season was to outsource the offense to assistant John Kuester, much as Doc Rivers turned his defense over to assistant Tom Thibodeau a year ago to spark Boston's march to the title. Brown's move has worked brilliantly -- the Cavs finished this season fourth in offensive efficiency and improved by 21 games.
Yes, it helped Cleveland's offense to insert Mo Williams and have more or less the full roster available, without the damaging holdouts of the previous season. But beyond that, the Cavs' offense is visibly more active, more flowing and less predictable, and that has made James even more of a threat than ever.
What we don't know, of course, is whether Del Negro will reach that point. Some coaches, just like some players, never progress.
And of course, there are a great many elements of coaching besides timeout management. The teaching that happens at practice leads to day-to-day improvement, and demanding accountability produces maximum effort. These things are completely out of view to most of us, yet are probably the most important pieces of a coach's job.
This isn't to excuse Del Negro's rookie mistake Monday night -- the Bulls had a great opportunity to take a 2-0 lead back to Chicago but never got a good final look at the rim thanks to their lack of a timeout at the end. But let's not forget that Del Negro's team finished the season 18-11 and won the series opener on the road against the defending champs, or that young big men Joakim Noah and Tyrus Thomas have improved noticeably during the season. Presumably, there were reasons for this.
Coaches need repetition as much as players, especially when it comes to game strategy, and Del Negro didn't have any coaching reps at any level entering his maiden season as Bulls coach. Clearly, there were going to be some bumps along the way, and most likely more will come.
But if there's one thing Bulls fans can take solace in, it's that one of the league's premier coaches was making a lot of the same mistakes just three years ago. With any luck, Del Negro will show similar progress.

Considering all the automotive recalls that were announced last year and continue to be announced this year, it is difficult for consumers to know whether their cars have been affected. That should change with the introduction of a new smartphone application that allows consumers to look up the licenses of their cars to know if a recall applies to them.

Stop Media Reporting School or Massavie Shootings
The reason why we need to do this is because so other crazy people do not go out and do it. I believe that the media go to the extreme on reporting on what is going on. It needs to stop. They give too many details of exactly what guns were used, how it was planned so someone can follow exactly in their footsteps. The media needs to leave it to report so nobody gets an idea on doing the same thing next time. Next time it could be even worse then the last time and it might be one of your loved ones. I know that the media has the right of freedom of speech, but enough is enough. We need to start to protect our future and not fuel the fire. As a parent I am concern about my kids and that is why they are home schooled. We need to think more about the victims.

Christina M. Currie: A high pressure job
Friday, October 3, 2008
I'm scared. Really scared.
What do I know about raising kids? What do I know about counseling them and laying the foundation for a solid set of values that will carry them through the perils of today's society?
Maybe it's recent conversations I've had with people about family members who are battling a drug problem. Maybe it's the dismal state of the economy and the seemingly endless number of political battles on the horizon.
Maybe it was looking at my 8-year-old daughter and thinking that yesterday she was 4 and tomorrow, she'll be 16.
The entire burden of what it means to raise a child came crashing down on me, and I started questioning my every decision.
Have I blown eight years? Was I home enough? Did I listen enough? Did we read together enough? Was I, too, impatient when I helped her with her homework? Did I push too hard? Was I too strict? Not strict enough?
The list goes on and on.
Do all parents feel this way? Am I overreacting?
Me. It's all me.
Granted, I've got support in many forms. Friends and family aren't hanging me out to dry, but still, I'm responsible for this little being. And, not to be glib, but it's a tough world out there.
Katie's at an age where friendships are fragile. One day, someone is her best friend, the next day they're not. The reasons are vague: "she wouldn't play what I wanted to play" or "she said she doesn't like me anymore. I don't know why."
Third-grade drama.
And it breaks my heart.
How can I ever endure eighth-grade drama? What do I say when my oh-so-special girl doesn't feel pretty enough, smart enough, fast enough?
How do I find the confidence to let her make her own decisions, even when I know they're wrong?
For me, autumn always has been quiet time.
Reflective time.
Alone time.
Just the smell brings waves of nostalgia.
Maybe I'm getting carried away by the season.
I have many questions, and not so many answers. I wonder if my own parents had the same worries. I wonder how other parents handle those same worries.
It seems to me that you have a very small window in which to influence the person your child will be. Looking at my daughter, it occurred to me that more than half my window was closed.
They don't lie when they say it goes fast. And, this isn't one of those cases where you can say, "That was interesting. Didn't quite work, but I'll do better next time."
This is a one-shot deal and mistakes can cost them the rest of their lives.
How's that for pressure?
I'm like every other parent out there, feeling their way though unfamiliar territory doing the best they can.
But what if my best isn't good enough?

Hey Granny,
Why don't you heed your own advice? If you don't like it, don't read it.
By the way, where is gingervitis? The mental ward? Rehab?
At least she's not wasting space in my paper today.
MidConBud 6 years, 4 months ago
Do you realize that your Katie is only 8? You're acting like she's a grown up. She's a child let her be one. As for yourself perhaps you should get a hobby and leave your poor child alone. Oh and that smell that brings you nostalgia........that's a meth lab.
misterkindbuds 6 years, 4 months ago
If you need advice from your family, why don't you just walk a couple trailers down and knock on their door? I hope this column is still going when Katie is 16 .... and mom is still trying to observe and control her every move.
Wacky, I'll tells ya.
grannyrett 6 years, 4 months ago
I don't know lonelyone. It seems that all single parents--or maybe all parents--wonder if they are doing things right with their kids. Wish they came with instructions. Would make it a lot easier.
Ray Cartwright 6 years, 3 months ago
grannyrett, wouldn't it be a dull world if all the children came with instructions and were raised and acted the same. or maybe it would be scary LOL
grannyrett 6 years, 3 months ago
dentedfender-You're right. My point was that all parents, at some times, have doubts about doing the right thing with their kids. Who knows the outcome when it comes to kids? All we can do is raise them with love and understanding, be wise enough to know when to let them make their own mistakes and not blame ourselves for them, and know that we do the best we can. We can give them all the tools to grow into productive adults, but they have to do it on their own. My kids have made mistakes, but, I'm pretty darn proud of all of them.
lonelyone 6 years, 3 months ago
Once again granny, your right. That was part of my point in saying "get a grip". I know there are going to be times when you wake up in the night and wonder if you did the right thing that day with your kids, but she needs to take a deep breath and slowly let it out AND get a grip or she'll drive herself and her kids crazy! If she'd been standing in front of me and saying all those things........did I do this and what about this and maybe I should have and.........I'd have looked her in the eye and said "Chris...get a grip"!! "take a deep breath and let it out slowly!"
misterkindbuds 6 years, 3 months ago
I'll bet Currie is institutionalized before this column quits running. I am very interested to read about Katie at 17, though.
misterkindbuds 6 years, 3 months ago
Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo ... right, I'm the only person who can't stand to read that crap.
grannyrett 6 years, 3 months ago
mkb-If you can't stand to read it, then don't. Sometimes I enjoy it, sometimes, I don't. But, I don't read it in order to put Chris or her kids down. I don't read it so I can post hateful comments. You haven't won. You have just shown how low a person can sink. Slither off somewhere and have another hit. It must be the only thing that keeps you going.
woodsinsd 6 years, 3 months ago
Perhaps mkb---you should take a look at yourself before you make comments about granny....I'm guessing that what you've just spouted about granny, upon closer inspection, would be more relevant to yourself. A wise person once told me that before you make accusations at someone else, you'd best take a long, hard look at yourself to make sure you're not trying to pawn it off on them. You, sir, have not won anything....
misterkindbuds 6 years, 3 months ago
Granny, You sound like a bitter old lady. Do you always lash out at others when things don't go your way?
And yes, it looks like I won. This is America and I am entitled to my opinion. I know in your household, you think whatever you say goes, but it's time for you to wake up.
Heed you own advice, you hypocrite. If you don't like what I write, don't read it.
That's your advice, but then you attack when you don't like what you read.
And there is a difference between "hateful" and the truth.
Christina Currie is a hack. Plain and simple. That's the truth. Name one other paper that would publish lame columns that focus on the life of an 8-year-old.
It sounds as if living through your children is a family tradition with the Mathers' clan.
So quit calling me a snake or a hateful person. Maybe YOU should have taken the extra steps to educate her better before she put her half-cocked views before the public.
But then you couldn't lash out at me could you?
See granny, you are a mad, angry, defensive person who is unable to accept criticism. Do you ever blame yourself for the erratic behavior of your children or is it always someone else's fault?
Granny, I am a winner. You are a loser.
Now, I will go take another hit of the Maui.
Good luck with those authoritative, dominatrix ways that have proven so effective.
Just remember ... I won.
grannyrett 6 years, 3 months ago
Patrick-I'm not related to Chris. Never claimed to be. It was mkb that put that forward. Just goes to show how delusional he is.

W3C Promotes Media Source Extensions
HTML technology will enable new video editing and playback options.
The World Wide Web Consortium's HTML Working Group has released the Media Source extensions as a Candidate Recommendation. According to the W3C, the Media Source extensions "...extend HTMLMediaElement to allow JavaScript to generate media streams for playback." The extensions will allow, among other things, "...adaptive streaming and time shifting for live streams," enabling new options for video editing and content blending in advertising.
The specification is backed by Google, Microsoft, and Netflix. Developers are encouraged to implement the Media Source extensions in real-world software. The specification will remain in its current Candidate Recommendation status until two independent implementations exist. Until then, the Media Source extensions are considered a work in progress not officially supported by the W3C.

MONDAY, Jan. 21 (HealthDay News) -- A chemical called melamine that's found in some dishware might raise your risk for kidney stones, a small new study suggests.
"Melamine is a chemical used widely in industry and found in many household products," noted one expert not connected to the study, Dr. Kenneth Spaeth.
"For consumers, one of the most common sources of exposure to melamine is from kitchenware including plates, bowls, mugs, etcetera, as melamine has long been known to migrate from these into food," said Spaeth, who is director of the Occupational and Environmental Medicine Center at North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, NY.
He noted that both higher temperatures (from hot soups, for example) or more acidic foods can encourage melamine to contaminate food, especially in older or low-quality kitchenware.
The new Taiwanese study included 12 healthy men and women who ate hot noodle soup from either a melamine or ceramic bowl. Urine samples were collected from the participants for 12 hours after they ate the soup.
Three weeks later, the participants consumed the same kind of soup but the type of bowl they used was reversed. Urine samples were collected again.
Total melamine levels in urine for 12 hours after eating the soup was 8.35 micrograms when the participants ate out of the melamine bowls versus about 1.3 micrograms when they ate out of ceramic bowls.
"Melamine tableware may release large amounts of melamine when used to serve high-temperature foods. The amount of melamine released into food and beverages from melamine tableware varies by brand, so the results of this study of one brand may not be generalized to other brands," a team led by Chia-Fang Wu, of Kaohsiung Medical University in Taiwan, wrote in the study.
They added that it's not yet clear what effect all of this might have on human health. However, prior studies have linked chronic, low-dose melamine exposures t

PM to meet Sarkozy on way back from Washington
Published: 11.01.09, 20:10 / Israel News
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is planning to meet with French
President Nicolas Sarkozy in Paris on the way back from his trip
to the US next week, Ynet learned on Sunday.
During the meeting Netanyahu plans to laud Sarkozy for his firm
stance against Iran's nuclear ambitions and also ask the French
leader to help jumpstart the stalled Israeli-Palestinian peace
Sarkozy invited Netanyahu to Paris during a phone conversation the
two leaders held last week.
France is adamant in its demand that Iran accept a UN-backed plan
to ship much of the country's uranium abroad for further
The UN-brokered plan requires Iran to send 1.2 tons (1,100
kilograms) of low-enriched uranium - around 70 percent of its
stockpile - to Russia in one batch by the end of the year, easing
concerns the material would be used for a bomb.
After further enrichment in Russia, France would convert the
uranium into fuel rods that would be returned to Iran for use in a
reactor in Tehran that produces medical isotopes.
Iran has indicated that it may agree to send only "part" of its
stockpile in several shipments. Should the talks fail to help Iran
obtain the fuel from abroad, Iran has threatened to enrich uranium
to the higher level needed to power the research reactor itself
During the meeting the Israeli prime minister will also discuss
the need for international pressure on Palestinian President
Mahmoud Abbas with the aim of resuming the dialogue between Israel
and the Palestinian Authority.
Officials in Jerusalem said France is capable of influencing Arab
countries in such a way that they would to extend gestures to
Israel as part of the efforts to achieve regional peace.
Netanyahu is scheduled to leave for Washington on November 8.
During the visit the PM will speak with the heads of Jewish
communities in North America. A meeting with President Barack
Obama has not been confirmed by the White House as of yet.
Defense Minister Ehud Barak will accompany Netanyahu on his trip
to Washington.
The PM's next stop will be New York, where he will present
Israel's position amid the stalled peace talks and in the wake of
the fallout from the publication of the Goldstone Report, which
accused Israel of committing war crimes during its
January-December conflict with Hamas in Gaza.
Netanyahu's visit to the US is expected to conclude on Tuesday or

At Primavera, executive chef Giacomo celebrates the cuisine of his native Italy with a menu of mouthwateringly authentic northern-Italian treats. Like a cuckoo clock that runs on ethanol, the appetizing bill of fare combines contemporary influences with Old-World traditions, dishing out house-made pasta and tender veal cutlets served alongside fresh catches of the day and wholesome risottos. Tender veal chops and colorful salads arrive tableside amid the relaxing ambiance of the rustic, cream-colored walls, or guests can mingle over glasses of flavorful wine at the full-service bar. In addition to gracing tables with delicious spreads, Primavera's helpful chefs impart their culinary techniques with occasional cooking classes—two-hour demostrations that prep students to prepare light meals, glean understanding of wine pairings, and add realism to imaginary garden parties.
Beneath proudly fluttering Italian and American flags, handcrafted New York–style pizzas and time-tested Italian dishes emerge from Johnny's New York Pizza's kitchen. From an outdoor patio, crispy thin crusts launch steam from homemade dough and fistfuls of toppings including mushrooms, genoa salami, and eggplant. Pasta strands teem with mussels, calamari marinara, or grilled chicken, and cold and hot hero sandwiches conceal veal cutlet and cheese-steak fixings. Checkered tables beg for customers to linger with marinara-festooned meals, and readymade pizza slices allow patrons to hastily pick up a meal or something to wave at passing ships to prove they have pizza.
More than 1,200 miles separate Corelli's Pizza and Pasta from New York City, though you wouldn't know from inside. Chefs Joe and David toss together generously sized New York–style pizzas; their medium pie measures 14 inches across and their extra-large pie measures one standard bigfoot foot: 18 inches. To help branch out from the standard pizza shop offerings, the kitchen staff also prepares pasta, sub sandwiches, and calzones and organizes a wine-tasting club.
Sample a wide variety of tasty menu items at Humpys, where New York-style pizza reigns supreme. Munch on a gooey concoction of dough and toppings with a medium margherita ($13.50) or Hawaiian ($13.50) pizza. Hungry mouths may enjoy catching a frisbee of pizza flatbread, which is offered in varieties such as barbecue chicken ($8) and mushroom with caramelized onions ($8). All of Humpys's dough is made fresh daily with a crust crafted from traditional Italian and honey-wheat ingredients, hand-tossed and fire-baked for an extra singe of authenticity. Sandwiches are also available in varieties such as the meatball hero ($7.95), and squealing sweet teeth can be sated by biting into the moist expanse of a fresh-baked jumbo carrot-cake cupcake ($3).
Since 1979, the chefs at Bona Italian Restaurant have been baking pans of lasagna, tossing caesar salads, and piling sub sandwiches with Boar's Head deli meats. They craft Italian comfort food, topping linguine with mussels and clams and crowning pizzas with inventive blends of ingredients such as eggplant, bacon, and gorgonzola cheese. Beyond the plates of veal saltimbocca—cooked with white wine, prosciutto, and mozzarella—in the main dining area, a carefully selected vino menu can be found in the newly added wine bar. In addition to sips of grape-based libations, it offers high-top wooden tables and a flat-screen TV perfect for rolling-pin practice.
Guests at Caf? Vico find themselves dining under the watchful eyes of A-list celebrities, both past and present. That?s because nearly every inch of the eatery?s mustard-yellow walls is covered by black-and-white headshots of such famous faces as Marlon Brando and Michael Caine. These photos, along with a plethora of burnished wooden wine racks and baked terra-cotta floors, flow throughout each of Caf? Vico?s four dining rooms?the VIP room, the Old room, the Middle room, and the Coliseum room?tying the interior into a cohesive, welcoming space.
Chef and owner Marco Vico only enhances the restaurant?s visual appeal with his authentic, handcrafted Italian dishes and old-school charm?according to South Florida Food and Wine, he kisses the hand of every lady who walks in. The menu coddles sensory receptors with many classic entrees such as eggplant parmesan, veal piccata, and osso buco. Its real draw, however, is the fresh pasta, which the chef cuts into thick strips of fettuccini, round ravioli, or fancy bow ties for his attentive wait staff. An extensive wine list supplements Caf? Vico?s tasty eats with bottles from around the world and more than 20 varieties available by the glass, and a new bar area features live entertainment nightly.

The house next door sold.
Gone is your old neighbor and her neatly manicured lawn.
Your new neighbor replaced it with dirt, on which he parks his giant Hummer. He partially knocked down a wall, but the other half has remained. He also installed a shower nozzle in the front yard so that he can rinse off before going inside.
It doesn't matter if everyone on the block complains to code enforcement, because the property isn't in violation of current town codes.
The newly formed Planning & Zoning Property Maintenance Code Subcommittee discussed the home, which does, in fact, exist, at its first meeting Thursday, Jan. 24.
The subcommittee's mission is to review the town's property-maintenance codes to determine if stricter regulations are needed.
Currently, town codes are limited to weeds-and-grass violations and life-safety issues.
A revised code could address issues that the town hears complaints about but can't enforce — such as peeling paint, ripped screens, caving roofs and broken doors, stairways, windows and railings.
But, there's also the alternative scenario that comes with a stricter code. Suppose the paint on your garage door is chipped, or your window doesn't open, and your neighbor has a grudge.
It wouldn't matter how miniscule the violation.
"If (they) can show you that this is on the books, then I can't tell Amanda (Nemoytin) not to enforce the codes," said Longboat Key Planning Zoning & Building Director Robin Meyer, referring to the town's code-enforcement officer.
At the Jan. 24 meeting, the subcommittee discussed the need to address the problematic issues without becoming Big Brother.
"I think what we need to define now is how far we want to go," Meyer said.
Subcommittee member Len Garner said that most property owners respond when code enforcement notifies them that their property is in violation of codes.
"Our focus here is to try to identify specific issues that need focusing," Garner said.
Another member, John Wild, suggested that a reasonable approach could be enforcing violations if they're visible from the road, along with life-safety issues.
The town's Code Enforcement Department is reactive rather than proactive, according to Meyer, meaning that it primarily reacts to reported violations rather than actively searching for violations.
Changing that policy would require more staffing, because Nemoytin the town's only code-enforcement officer.
The subcommittee has now met for three weeks in a row and gotten halfway through the ordinance it's seeking to bolster. Future discussions will be held to discuss trailers and parking issues.
The subcommittee hopes to be finished with its review before the Planning and Zoning Board holds its 9 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 19 regular meeting.

Cornely OA et al. – Fidaxomicin could be an alternative treatment for infection with C difficile, with similar efficacy and safety to vancomycin.
Methods- In this multicentre, double-blind, randomised, non-inferiority trial, the authors enrolled patients from 45 sites in Europe and 41 sites in the USA and Canada between April 19, 2007, and Dec 11, 2009.
- Eligible patients were aged 16 years or older with acute, toxin-positive C difficile infection.
- Patients were randomly allocated (1:1) to receive oral fidaxomicin (200 mg every 12 h) or oral vancomycin (125 mg every 6 h) for 10 days.
- The primary endpoint was clinical cure, defined as resolution of diarrhoea and no further need for treatment.
- An interactive voice-response system and computer-generated randomisation schedule gave a randomisation number and medication kit number for each patient.
- Participants and investigators were masked to treatment allocation.
- Non-inferiority was prespecified with a margin of 10%.
- Modified intention-to-treat and per-protocol populations were analysed.
- Of 535 patients enrolled, 270 were assigned fidaxomicin and 265 vancomycin.
- After 26 patients were excluded, 509 were included in the modified intention-to-treat (mITT) population.
- 198 (91•7%) of 216 patients in the per-protocol population given fidaxomicin achieved clinical cure, compared with 213 (90•6%) of 235 given vancomycin, meeting the criterion for non-inferiority (one-sided 97.5% CI -4.3%).
- Non-inferiority was also shown for clinical cure in the mITT population, with 221 (87.7%) of 252 patients given fidaxomicin and 223 (86.8%) of 257 given vancomycin cured (one-sided 97.5% CI -4.9%).
- nalyses of the primary endpoint in the mITT population, outcomes in the two treatment groups did not differ significantly; although patients receiving concomitant antibiotics for other infections had a higher cure rate with fidaxomicin (46 [90.2%] of 51) than with vancomycin (33 [73.3%] of 45; p=0.031).
- Occurrence of treatment-emergent adverse events did not differ between groups. 20 (7.6%) of 264 patients given at least one dose of fidaxomicin and 17 (6.5%) of 260 given vancomycin died.

Last night Jon Heder, star of Napoleon Dynamite, hosted "Saturday Night Live." I caught a few of the sketches he played in, and one thing was pretty clear: the kid's no Philip Seymor Hoffman. He's amiable and sweet-faced, to be sure, but there's a muddiness to his voice he can't seem to clear, and his mouth, for all its soft pliability, is suprisingly unagile with dialogue. I haven't seen his latest effort, a supporting role in the romantic comedy Just Like Heaven, but in my judgment he doesn't have either the chops or the charisma to make a career... Read more »

Imagining Bathsheba
Recent weeks have seen stimulating (and occasionally heated) discussion of a July Ensign article on the life of Bathsheba W. Smith. The article, meticulously parsed by Justin Butterfield, omits, together with other biographical material, all references to Bathsheba Smith's sister-wives and any reference to the polygamous families of her husband, George A. Smith. This conspicuous lacuna looks to many readers like a deliberate effort to edit the historical record, selectively striking embarrassing references to polygamy—and, in the process, variously flouting standards of historiography and simple honesty, dishonoring the memory of polygamous wives, and writing women out of Mormon history....

Few things in life have come to me as arduously as motherhood came, and nothing else has revealed itself as suddenly. Read more »

Sixteen years ago today, May 2, 1989, was a Tuesday. I got up and went to school that morning, along with my three other school-age siblings; I was fourteen, in ninth grade, an everting adolescent just starting to worry about my weight, thinking about my first AP exam in a few weeks. My mother probably stayed in most of that day, occupied with our new two-month-old, Abraham, and the three other home-age children. My dad went to work, and then to a school board meeting that evening. My grandma was in town, too, visiting for a few weeks. Read more »
